Martinez vs Macklin: 'Fairytale' Fight for Matthew Macklin

Martinez vs Macklin: HBO Buzz at the Press Conference (Video)
I wish they'd stop saying "Madison Square Garden." I don't know why this bugs me so much. Maybe the idea that Madison Square Garden is hallowed ground, and we're now pretending that Sergio Martinez is headlining MSG when he's only headlining The Theater, which just isn't the same thing. [...

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Sergio Martinez: WBC Promises to Enforce Title Fight Later
The WBC sent out a press statement today which basically says the following: The February 4 fight between middleweight titlist Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Marco Antonio Rubio is sanctioned by the WBC as a title fight. Shocker, that. If Chavez wins, and Sergio Martinez defeats Matthew Macklin on...
